The following overview explains the advantages and limitations
of the two supported queue-based printing methods.
The AXIS 5800+ Mobile logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly
polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS
5800+ Mobile emulates a NetWare print server, which is a
workstation running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed
with low network load and is the recommended mode for
medium to large sized networks. Each print server in PSERVER
mode takes one NetWare user license.
• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s.
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user
licence for each AXIS 5800+ Mobile to file server link.
The AXIS 5800+ Mobile acts as Remote Printer for
PSERVER.NLM running on the NetWare file server, or to a
dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion,
the AXIS 5800+ Mobile emulates a workstation running the
NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This
mode is only recommended for small networks where the
number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.
• NetWare user licences are not required.
• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.
• Higher network load.
